Book Reviews of Better than Beauty: A Guide to Charm
Book Review: charming read
Summary: 3 Stars
This book promises a lot but delivers little - in the most charming way ofcourse. It was originally published in the 30s and it shows, with tips onwashing your hair with soap and what type of hat to wear. But what itlacks in practical, up-to-date advice it makes up for in reassuringguidance that can be universally applied, such as how to be confident insocial situations. For me it offered an insight into what it means to be 'ladylike' andtaught me not worry so much, as the general message seems to be that ifyou have the best intentions it doesn't really matter what you do.
There are attractive illustrations throughout and the book is split intosmall sections that are easy to read, with an index at the back to makereference simple.
It is a small, pretty book with novelty and even historical value, ratherthan a self-help type book that relates closely to your life.
